(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) For all signal-chain devices to operate properly, each requires a stable-voltage power ...

Power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) are three-terminal silicon devices that function by applying a signal to the gate that controls current conduction between source and ...

The electrical upgrade of the green carbon facility at the aluminum plant was complete. A myriad of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and PC-based graphic user interface (GUI) systems replaced the ...

This video breaks down how resistors work and why they’re one of the most essential components in every electronic device.

The theory of buck converter operation. How to build buck converters using the SLG47105. Discover real-life examples where these devices can be used. DC-DC converters are widely used to efficiently ...

The power supply circuit is a ubiquitous component in all electronic devices, regardless of whether they are powered by batteries or by direct or alternating external electricity. The whole ...

Understanding power factor (PF) is important because it gives us a clear understanding of the efficiency of an electrical system. Put simply, it’s the ratio of true power and apparent power, which ...

Editor’s note: This article is part of our roundup of USB-C battery packs. The simplest way to discuss electrical power is in units of volts (V), current measured in amperes or amps (A), and watts (W) ...

The harnessing of electricity has played a pivotal role in human history and has exponentially expedited our growth as a species. Since becoming a household commodity in the late 19th century, ...
